Decision framework
When to choose Switzerland
Choose Switzerland when the target investor base is Swiss private banks and Swiss-domiciled clients. Swiss ISINs and SIS settlement are the path of least resistance for Swiss custody chains, and SIX or BX listing maximises visibility to local relationship managers. Series-based issuance keeps documentation lean for repeated tranches under a master programme. Best suited to managers with strong Swiss distribution and short-to-medium-tenor structured products.

Tenor
Switzerland AMC FAQs
Why issue an AMC from Switzerland?
Swiss ISINs and SIS settlement give the smoothest custody and trading experience inside Swiss private banks. For products primarily sold to Swiss-domiciled clients, a Swiss-issued certificate often reduces friction with relationship managers and custodians.
What is the role of the Swiss SPV issuer?
Noray coordinates issuance via established Swiss SPV issuer platforms supervised under the FINMA framework. The SPV is the legal issuer of record; each AMC is structured as a series under a master programme.
Can Swiss-issued AMCs be sold cross-border?
Cross-border distribution is possible on a reverse-solicitation or private-placement basis depending on the investor's jurisdiction. Swiss-issued certificates are not EU-passported.
Which listing venues are typical?
SIX Swiss Exchange is the primary venue, with BX Swiss as an alternative. Listing is not always required where the product targets a defined private banking client base.
